I realize this question was asked a long time ago, but I'll post a photo now anyway in case someone else has this same question. The drive in this machine and also in the RX-FT560 has two belts. The long one makes the capstans go around, and the short one makes the take up reals move. In the photo, you can see the short belt, and I have drawn a not too straight line where the long one goes. It goes under the big wheels that drive the capstan spindles and around the motor pulley. I hope this helps someone.

SOURCE: I need a drive belt for my KT-4051 Stereo radio

This is a tough one because I am not sure of your location., But taking the old sample with you visit the street that sell spares and try to find out the oldest dealer who had been through the ages of tape recorders. I hope there will be some residual stock of the size you need. If not search for the next city or town , call up from your yellow pages to find if the dealer has stock of belt before you approach. You will find out soon. Good luck. Good day

Pioneer RX 590 Dual Cassette Deck. I am looking for a replacement belt kit and it looks like they don't make them anymore. Is there anything I can use for a substitute?

Question edited for clarity and correct order, 'make model (what it is)' plus spelling of 'dual'.

There are two prospects here including a place that makes custom belts'. The RX-541 may fit.

My Panasonic RQ-2102 cassette player sounds wonky. The speed and pitch changes a lot. Sometimes the head don't spin at all. Any thoughts?

The symptoms you describe on your Panasonic RQ-2102 cassette player are indicative of a problem with the playback mechanism, most likely related to the motor or the belt that drives it. Here are some steps you can take to try to fix the issue:
  1. Check the belt: Open the cassette player and look for the belt that drives the playback mechanism. If the belt is loose, broken, or worn, it can cause the speed and pitch to fluctuate or the head not to spin at all. In that case, you may need to replace the belt.
  2. Clean the playback head: Use a cotton swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol to clean the playback head. Dirt and debris can accumulate on the head and cause playback issues.
  3. Check the motor: The motor that drives the playback mechanism may be faulty or damaged. If the motor is not spinning at the correct speed, it can cause the speed and pitch to fluctuate. In that case, you may need to replace the motor.
  4. Lubricate the mechanism: The playback mechanism may need lubrication. Use a small amount of silicone lubricant on the moving parts of the mechanism to reduce friction and improve performance.
If these steps don't fix the issue, it may be necessary to take your cassette player to a repair shop for further inspection and repair.

How to route belts on general electric 3-5672a cassette deck

you can follow these steps:
  1. Open the cassette deck: Carefully open the cassette deck by removing any screws or clips that secure the outer casing. Be cautious not to damage any internal components or delicate parts.
  2. Observe the existing belt placement: Before removing any belts, take note of their positions and how they are routed around various pulleys, flywheels, or other components. This will serve as a reference for installing the new belts correctly.
  3. Remove and replace the belts: Gently remove the old belts, keeping track of their lengths and shapes. Measure the size and shape of the old belts or refer to any documentation that may have come with the deck to determine the appropriate replacement belts. Install the new belts one at a time, following the observed routing from step 2.
  4. Ensure proper tension: Ensure that the newly installed belts have the appropriate tension. They should be tight enough to drive the various mechanisms but not overly tight or loose. Adjust the tension if necessary.
  5. Test and adjust: After replacing the belts, reassemble the cassette deck and test its functionality. Verify that the belts drive the cassette mechanism smoothly and consistently. Make any necessary adjustments to belt tension or routing if the mechanisms do not operate correctly.
If you encounter any difficulties or are unsure about the belt routing or replacement process, it is advisable to consult a professional technician or reach out to a specialized audio repair service. They will have the expertise and knowledge to handle the specific requirements of your General Electric 3-5672A cassette deck and ensure proper belt routing.

Panasonic RX ES29. How can I open a stuck tape deck on my Panasonic RX ES29 please?

Put a dinner knife in the gap and gently try to prize it open whilst pressing the button. If that doesn't work, you will need to open up the case and find what part is not working..

Will it record on most cassette types

The difference between cassette types is the length of the tape and the quality of the tape. Your recorder will work on all types of cassettes.

Cassettes tapes not moving in my Panasonic RX-ED77

If you can her the motor turning, there is a good chance that the belt(s) have broken and need to be replaced. If you hear nothing, then there could be a control issue. I'm leaning toward the belts though. Figure on $5-$15 for the belts,

Dan
